Families and death

I wish I had some of these death problems with my husbands family. Im ready, I just wish they were.

I think the biggest issue they are going through is that this is going to be extremely hard on the husband. They've been together over 50 years and he's not taking any of this well at all. Sooo, the family decided that he really shouldn't spend an awful lot of time by himself and they set up a schedule for everyone to go spend time with him. The one sister never shows up when she's supposed to because she's so "busy". She's also not happy with the suggested funeral arrangements that everyone else in the family has agreed to because her friends would like to attend and what they've all settled on isn't very convenient for them. She's making a hard enough situation downright unbearable.

I've already got it worked out when either of my parents go, my sister will be in charge of EVERYTHING, I'm just gonna sit back and take orders. She likes being the mother hen.

It sounds like the "busy" sister should be off the schedule. It amazes me the sister is so self centered she feels the funeral should be convenient for her wants. If her "friends" can't make the funeral then I'd say they're not true friends. It'd be interesting to know how they feel about her making a fuss over them, I bet they'd die of embarassment.

Our grandparent passed 2yrs ago and his kids are still causing drama.
It's really a shame. His wife is still living and has decided to move, now the kids feel they are entitled to stuff out of the house. Seems to me it belongs to his wife. They don't think so.

I have a friend who lived with her boyfriend for years (I'm not sure of how many). When her boyfriend died, his family kicked her out of "his" house and took both vehicles they had.

They weren't fighting before the death, but they sure stuck it to her when he died.
